Weekend in Chicago

The one and only, Mary, with the boys. Mike and I "rented" an apartment in her building for the night. It worked out great. It was close to Shedd and Michigan Avenue. The boys loved it! Secretly, I think Jay has a crush on Mary!
The boys at Shedd. The only disappointment was the penguin exhibit was closed (which was the whole reason we went) but the boys dealt with that pretty well. I noticed that Jay really took a lot of time to look at the exhibits and there were fish he was telling me about, as I had no idea what some of the fish were. Nick did pretty well too, once he finally figured out that he had to hold his dad's hand. Ha.

After we left Shedd, we walked for 5 miles, with no stroller. Nick actually did great. Mike only had to carry him for about 1/2 mile. He was a trooper.


The "twosome," Mike and Nick walking on Michigan Ave. Again, once Nick figured out that he had no choice but to hold Mike's hand then he didn't complain. It was a good preview for Disney. Both boys did really well. We really enjoyed ourselves and the weather could not have been more perfect.
